Marotta said: "We have five strikers whose commitments we are counting on for the season. And those commitments for the season are still there, because let's not forget that we are in the Europa League.

"Whilst it may have less value from a qualitative point of view, it requires greater consistency and a stronger commitment, because there are more games.

"We want to get to the final and for that we need a competitive squad. Then, it is down to what every player thinks.

"If Quagliarella has indicated his intention to be transferred, obviously we would take that into account, but at this time we have not had such a request."
